shouting to be heard – v2

all they have ever known
for too much of their lives
how sad this is the truth
their frame of reference

shouting to be heard
to be given respect
offering another way
showing kindness

thrown back in my face
as if it was weakness
not understanding
I didn’t want to shout

to show them kindness
caring not screaming
repaid with rebellion
a lack of respect
